Sitting at the front makes you 17 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies. Janie, the driver, tries to break the 18 atmosphere by striking the match of 194 . I try to mind my manners and 20 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 21 , her conversation was worth listening to. “My father's sick,” she said to no one in 22 .
